I listened to the song ‘Swim’ by Jack’s Mannequin a couple of weeks ago, and even wrote about it here, I never imagined it would be featured in a promo for Alex O’Loughlin’s new show, Three Rivers. I think it’s perfect for the show.

Jack’s Mannequin Premiere Official Video For ‘Swim’

Jack’s Mannequin have premiered the long awaited video for “Swim,” the second single from The Glass Passenger.  The inspirational clip features fans, family, and friends of the band as well as fan-submitted artwork that represents any message behind the word “swim.”  Watch the Steven Murashige (Incubus, The Ataris) video here.

I have to admit that this song moved me. I could easily see myself identifying with the lyrics…

You’ve gotta swim/Swim for your life/Swim for the music/That saves you/When you’re not so sure you’ll survive/You gotta swim/And swim when it hurts

I’m sure everyone has felt that one time (or many) in their life. So when you are done watching it once, watch it again. I love to let myself get caught up in the music. And this song caught me up in it’s undertoe.
